Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Michaux has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging 4.5 tackles per match across a range of competitions. His carrying load is modest by design, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a finisher role, yet his best outings show he can handle six carries and 25 metres when called upon. It is his tackle numbers — peaking at 13 in a single match — that mark him as a high-impact defensive presence the moment he crosses the whitewash.
